Infrared spectroscopy (IR) is based on the interaction of the vibrational frequencies of individual (and groups of) bonds within a molecule with the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

A promising microspectroscopy technique has just become far more promising thanks to an improvement that increases the technique’s sensitivity and spatial resolution. The advance, which combines ...

Infrared and Raman spectroscopies can observe different types of molecular vibrations. Using both methods on a compound provides a more complete molecular picture than either alone. But the two ...

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a precise analytical method that detects molecular vibrations, creating unique spectra for identifying functional groups and structures. It’s used in fields from ...

Infrared (IR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy are essential tools for chemists to identify and confirm the structure of unknown compounds. IR reveals functional groups through ...

The sample preparation before conducting an infrared spectroscopy (IR) study is as critical as the study itself, and the samples which are difficult to dissolve in any IR-transparent solvent are mixed ...

Last Sunday, November 8, was the International Day of Radiology (IDoR 2020), an event celebrated by radiologists, technologists, and nuclear medicine professionals worldwide. The subdiscipline within ...

Polymers are used in many industries, including food packaging, tire manufacturing, adhesives, and medical-grade plastics. Photothermal atomic force microscope-based infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR) ...

The outstanding properties of 2D materials for critical applications in semiconductors, battery technology, photovoltaics, and numerous other areas render them a key emerging field of research.
